Thank you so much to a poster on these boards that gave me an article from the paper~~

Delilah’s, Sawgrass Grand Hotel & Suites, 3003 N. University Dr., Sunrise was closed Aug. 26 after an inspector observed violations that included: Seven dead roaches on the premises; a cooler did not maintain cold food at proper temperatures; 100 live roaches were in the drain board and dishwasher area; 15 additional roaches were in the premises; two fresh rodent droppings were near a mop sink and a fresh lizard dropping was beside the stove; a stop sale order was issued for cooked chicken, rice, noodles, couscous held above 41 degrees Fahrenheit; a probe thermometer was not used to ensure proper food temperatures and raw/undercooked animal food business ........

I called Priceline with this information including the source url and they cancelled my reservation at this hotel free of charge !!!

Booked on HOT WIRE ft.lauderdale nov.1

quality Inn and suites cruise port. $53 total cost

Think I found a deal - for next winter - cruising in feb and most hotel room prices are pretty expensive - found on LMT club -hyatt place miami airport east - new place - reservations only as of dec 2015.

Most sites, even hyatt site, have it listed around $240-300/night - but found it for one night pre cruise on LMT for $120!! (includes breakfast and airport shuttle) - it is on lejeune so I think also close to the Port? Will be looking for reviews in the new year - and can always cancel 3 days prior.....

Does it say secret hotels? I get the same listings for both sites.

I was wondering the same thing. So I googled secret deals and it came up. Thanks for letting us know that. I've been a member now for over a year and haven't booked anything yet. Might just hook a deal before Mar/Apr!

I did as I said above,logging in at http://www.lastminutetravel.com then search Miami Fl with my dates then i checked downtown miami this is how it comes up "3-star hotel in Downtown Area/Miami" along with more "secret hotels" and some hotels with the names mixed in.

but if I log in at http://www.lmtclub.com it only comes up with the hotel names, no secret hotels.

Got an Express Deal on Priceline - 4 1/2 stars - Downtown Miami - There are a couple but this one has a SPA as an amenity. Got it for $111.00 per night for 10/15-10/17. Very please considering I couldn't find anything for under $175.00 per night

I googled it also and the secret hotels came up but the rates are all in english pounds. What am I doing wrong?

Possibly because you're on lastminute.com, which is a British based travel site, not lastminutetravel.com.Both come up as options when you google secret hotels.

I was just able to join LMT free through work and got the JW Marriott Marquis Miami for 1 night, Nov 6, for $185 ($216 with tax). It was over $300 everywhere else I looked. First time user of the site, so I hope it is legit! Should I be jumping up and down or skeptical?? Thanks!

Lmtclub is legit. I have used them multiple times since someone on these forums introduced it to me

Oh yea they are legit don't know how they offer the rates they do. Havent used for cruise hotels but booked the Opreyland hotel In Nashville last Christmas way below rack rate or anyone elses rate . Even canceled once and no problem getting a refund.

Can you only use LMT secret hotels in Miami, or Ft. Lauderdale, too?
